Benefits of technology

The present invention relates to a computer enclosure with a simple mounting mechanism for a cover. The invention aims to overcome the inconvenience and complexity of mounting mechanisms for computer system covers that require tools or complicated assembly processes. The invention includes a chassis with a mounting area and a securing member for mounting the cover. The securing member is a rectangular base with pivot holes and hooks that engage with the mounting area of the chassis. The securing member can be rotated to secure the cover. The technical effect of the invention is to provide a simple and convenient way to mount and remove computer system covers without the need for tools or complicated assembly processes.

Problems solved by technology

Thus, a screwdriver or another tool is necessary for installation or removal of the cover, which is time consuming and inconvenient.
However, most of the new mounting apparatuses are assembled by a plurality of components and operation of the mounting apparatuses is unduly complicated.

Embodiment Construction

[0010]Referring to FIG. 1, a computer enclosure includes a chassis 10, a decorative and protecting cover 20, and a securing member 30 for mounting the cover 20 to the chassis 10.

[0011]The chassis 10 includes a rear wall 11, a sidewall 13 perpendicular to the rear wall 11, and a bottom wall 16 perpendicular to the rear wall 11 and the sidewall 13. A mounting area is defined in the rear wall 11 separating the rear wall 11 into two heat dissipating areas. Each heat dissipating area defines a plurality of heat dissipating holes 12 therein. A pivot hole 18, a first securing hole 15, and a second securing hole 17 are defined in the mounting area. The pivot hole 18 is aligned with the two securing holes 15 and 17 in a direction perpendicular to the bottom wall 16 of the chassis 10. A first hook 19 protrudes from an inner side of the rear wall 11 of the chassis 10 adjacent to the second securing hole 17. A positioning end 111 extends from the rear wall 11 and is perpendicular to the sidewal...

Abstract

An computer enclosure includes a chassis having a bottom wall and a rear wall perpendicular to the bottom wall, a cover coupled to the rear wall of the chassis, two securing posts configured to extend through securing holes of the rear wall protruding from the cover, and a securing member pivotally attached to the rear wall of the chassis and capable of being rotated about a pivot axis. The securing member includes two opposite extending blocking ends for respectively engaging with the two securing posts of the cover, in which one blocking end is connected to a resilient member to provide an elastic force for urging the securing member to engage with the securing posts.

Description

BACKGROUND [0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to a computer enclosure with simply mounting structure for a cover thereof.[0003]2. Description of Related Art[0004]A cover of a computer system needs to be frequently removed for servicing or upgrading the computer system and then reattached. Typically, a cover mounting mechanism generally utilizes a plurality of screws to attach the cover to a computer chassis. Thus, a screwdriver or another tool is necessary for installation or removal of the cover, which is time consuming and inconvenient. As a result, many new cover mounting mechanisms have been introduced. Some mounting apparatuses do not require the use of screwdrivers or other tools to assemble or remove the cover. These mounting apparatuses have become popular, due to convenience. However, most of the new mounting apparatuses are assembled by a plurality of components and operation of the mounting apparatuses is unduly complicated.[0005]Therefore,...
